"The Turners moved out, and it feels like we've never really had a world of just the two of us," Kevin Cliff murmured into her ear, not spelling it out.
"What are you talking about? I won't let you plot against Ethan." How could this be? Wanting a world of two without their son.
"I'm not plotting against him. Or do you want to separate from me?" The man hinted mischievously behind them.
Charlotte Green was startled, then suddenly realized.
So, what Dad wanted was someone to keep him company!
Yes, Dad was a little too lonely.
But, wouldn't this be a bit unfair to Ethan?
"Do you want to separate from me?" Kevin Cliff asked again with mischief.
Charlotte Green looked at their son, who was bouncing and tugging at his hand, and then at the man she couldn't bear to leave. She finally made a tough decision!
"Then... sorry, Ethan." She covered her mouth with her hand, whispering faintly.
